Colt Woodsman Match Target

Hello all, I just inherited from my father in law , a first release Colt Match Target Woodsman along with three other guns. I was fascinated when I saw it! I found out that the grips are called elephant ears. Also I know that they were very fragile and prone to breakage. Well, one side of the grip has broken. Off long ago I assume. The rest of the pistol is in very good condition considering its age. I would like to know if anyone has one of these, and do you think it would be a good idea to have it restored?
Thanks for any info.

Really great gifts. Your Father in Law was good to you..enjoy them. What are the other guns? let's see some photos.

Yes he was a great man!!
I will try and get some pics up later tonight if I can figure I out! Lol
The other guns were a late model S&W snubby .38 Airweight
A 1917 US Eddystone 30-06 rifle
A real nice old model ruger single six w stag grips!! Sweet..
I can't belive that I actually own these now!!
